realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks¶

Synopsis¶

realpath PATH

Description¶

realpath resolves a path to its absolute path.

fish provides a realpath builtin as a fallback for systems where there is no realpath command, your OS might provide a version with more features.

If a realpath command exists, it will be preferred, so if you want to use the builtin you should use builtin realpath explicitly.

The following options are available:

  • -s or --no-symlinks: Don't resolve symlinks, only make paths absolute, squash multiple slashes and remove trailing slashes.
